CHAMPAGNE: The Ultimate Guide to the World’s BEST Sparkling Wine

Champagne is the greatest sparkling wine in the world. In this video from my recent trip to the Champagne region I talk on how this wine is made, about the geography and climate of the region, different grapes that are used for the production of Champagne, as well as its different styles and types such as vintage Champagne vs non-vintage, Cuvee Prestige, from brut nature to demi-sec. I also describe how different types of Champagne taste like and recommend notable producers, both from large houses and grower Champagnes.
